Defending Iowa Corn Indy 250 champion Ryan Hunter-Reay, fresh off victory in Milwaukee last weekend, will start tomorrow’s 250-lap event from the 14th grid position after finishing fourth in his heat round. While no points were gained form today’s qualifying effort, Hunter-Reay remains second in the championship points fight. The American makes his sixth career Iowa Speedway start tomorrow. His best finish at the Newton, Iowa track came with a victory in 2011.
“You know, it was way off the mark. We’ve been sitting on our own thumbs all day today. We just missed it today… The No. 1 DHL team will have to regroup and come back tomorrow because we’re starting buried in the pack. We gave up points today. An important day and we just missed it a bit. It’s to fight another day and that’s tomorrow.”
